so three on the naughty step - infighting - other players going public that they want to play, Brucie having to go public in the Mirror yesterday to justify playing his son - sorry to disappoint you bud, but he's lost the dressing room big time - he needs to call all the players back - he needs to wipe the slate clean with all his naughty steps and he needs to start rebuilding a sense of team and purpose and then start picking a team that can win matches rather than a team that doesn't challenge him - and he needs to stop picking his son in front of better players - its causing too much friction - Junior needs to be shipped out in Jan and much of the discontent will disappear
Looked like scoring? Do you actually watch the matches before you come on here spouting your ****.We had more attempts on goal than Swansea,they only had two, both been from Shelby. Shelby was running the show because he was allowed too much space and who should of been marking him one of either Livermore or Meyler. Both of them where utter **** and should of be pulled off. They want dropping to the bench for our next games and Brady and Quinne put on the park. Yes I ****ing know Livermore is out the next match due to his 5 yellows.
Bollocks the had two chances and scored from one of them. Our midfield let us down. Both Meyler and Livermore gave Shelby too much space and that allowed him to rule the midfield.
Hardly surprising like, he is the ****ing Assistant Manager of the Irish team of which we supply a large contingent. Muppet.
Ramirez was not the problem in the midfield, the other two donkeys that are Meyler and Livermore where.
So the players Brucie bought in: Diame, Dawson, Snoddy etc, are all injured. Ben Arfa was a punt that sadly just proved his critics right, and that he's a lazy precocious twat. Hernandez we lost for a few games due to personal reasons (fair enough). We have players seeing out bans due to cards, a chunk of which were ****y refs being ****. We're not Chelsea or Arsenal, we don't have 2 equally capable squads. We have the best squad we've ever had mind, but, the key ones are injured/banned or other, out of our hands reasons meant they've missed games. Some of you are blaming Brucie for this? We have a handful of players, who are journeymen, and if they were all called Ash or Barmby you'd be insisting the club stuck by them, but, realistically, they're playing above their league at the moment. Im ok with that, I accept that, we need squad players. As I pointed out, we're not in the position of an established PL club. Kinell. You need to get a grip and stop being dazzled by watching far richer and bigger teams than us. If we had a full compliment of our players fit and playing, we'd be winning games. Could our players play better? Yes, some of them could, but they know that. The speed some of you turn on our manager is just baffling. The same people who would be mocking other clubs for doing the same thing. Seems the idea of supporting a team is lost on some of you.
They had more than that, the goal, Shelby's shot that hit the post, Shelby's one on one with McGregor, Gomis' scruffy effort against the post, Routledge's one on one which he spooned wide. Swansea had more shots (13 to 11) and the same number on target (3). Don't talk bollocks.
the speed of turn - you mean 6 wins all year - he's had 12 months ffs - its hardly fans turning on a sixpence - 2014 has been awful in the Premier League - worse than under Brownie when everyone was calling for change - I like Brucie as much as the next man but lets not get caught up in some fantasy that he's the best manager ever stuff and we're lucky to have him - he needs to sort out a real mess both on the pitch and in the dressing room and he needs to do it quickly because the malaise needs to stop and if he cant do it then bring in someone else who can turn it around
Tis a cracking good post Happy. Sneering at other clubs while yapping away on here is spot on. Lost the dressing room, tactically naive, no plan B, not the correct formation, on and on. Our team are struggling and some of the supporters are moaning and groaning instead of getting behind the team. **** atmosphere again, little support to try and lift the team.
Bruce in for me. We are a good team hugely lacking in confidence and with some big players injured. We currently have no leader on the pitch. Curtis is out of sorts for whatever reason. Get the captain kicking some arses, get a flukey lucky win and then we will kick on. The booing yesterday was appalling. Stop it. Still no mirrors in the ladies loos! James Mooney out.
Disagree about Livermore, he showed a lot more fight than the others, was constantly trying to roust the rest of them, Meyler was poor I agree
I watched him treat the carol singers with contempt yesterday, right in front of my face. I hate the fat, high-pitched voice, smarmy ****. He is vile.
Not to mention the horizontal bicycle kick sort of thing that went wide, and the three times they got behind us and their very own ****tery saved us with either poor touches or decisions. Gomis and shelvey both worked together and got behind the defence before ****ing up twice (one of them where McGregor flew out the box almost to the half way line to tackle shelvey) and dyer was well in going one on one with McGregor before a god awful heavy touch which lost him the ball. Not shots but any other day they'd have been worked properly and they would have had 5 one on ones with our goalie. The last time I remember us having a one on one was WBA away in 2013, which is just beyond poor. Have we had a one on one at all since then?
I wouldn't be suprised if SB offered to hand his notice in if we don't get a win in our next two games. For now it's Bruce in for me .
I agree, what yesterday proved to me is that even though Huddlestone has not been at his best we missed him yesterday, and with Diame out as well we really missed them both in midfield. You can probably cope losing one of them but not both.
If Ramirez keeps getting picked then unfortunately I will be resigned to whatever happens to the manager, he has to rise above the fact he brought 2 donkeys in in the shape of him and Ben Arfa. Hernandez might come out of his shell too if Ramirez is sent packing, I was watching the warm-up and it was noticeable that he wasn't interacting with any of the lads apart from Jelavic, who seems to me to be an absolute diamond with the lads and acknowledging the fans- make him Captain
